Vis-à-vis
No full text" Vis-à-vis is about an encounter with nature. It unveils an animated, glittering world, in which reality tilts at times into the unfamiliar, the result of a few flash strokes in the darkness, furtive interventions in the landscape and a sustained attention to nature’s expressive manifestations. The book bears witness to these fortuitous or deliberate encounters, testifying to the artist’s desire to interact with the living world, to connect with the elements and to engage in a resonant experience. Interspersed between the photographs are segments of a reflexive text recounting the creation of a few key images, while tracing the reading trajectory of this poetic journey. Between the text and the images, a personal, exploratory narrative unfolds, a pretext for thinking more broadly about our ways of conceiving the natural universe and envisioning a type of embodied discourse, permeable to the imaginary and based on the sensory and reflective experience of the environment.

Twenty Dreams
No full text“Twenty Dreams is a two-part experiment. The first part, the narrative within, addresses some of the limitations and possibilities of theorizing climate catastrophe and ecocide alongside race and racism. The second part centres bookmaking and book design, honouring a range of black creative practices which can be gleaned in self-publishing, the circulation of activist pamphlets, the beauty of first editions, cherished worn paperbacks, and more. Working with Cristian Ordóñez, the design of Twenty Dreams is animated by lists, dreams and daydreams, rest, wire bees, thread, black, yellow, and white paper and print, and a tactile cover, all of which loop back to the narrative and signal, if only for a moment, an aesthetics of renewal.
The first run of Twenty Dreams was a limited-edition sewn-bound hardcover printed by The Gas Company in Toronto. This first run, not for sale, was mailed to colleagues, comrades, artists, galleries, and libraries in Autumn 2024.
This second run of Twenty Dreams is a sewn perfect bound softcover, signed by the author, also printed by The Gas Company. This second edition is for sale, with a portion of the proceeds going to The Beverley School, in Toronto, to support the building of their sensory room for kids with special needs.” -- Distributor's website
